Hello everyone,
I took my GMATs this last August and was pretty happy with my score. I got a 700 (47Q, 39V, 6AWA), which is 90%. I was under the impression that once a 7something score is reached, GMAT is emphasized less. However, I've been talking to people and have been getting vibes that it's not that good of a score for the schools that I want to go to. I wanted the GMAT to be merely a foot in the door--not THE deciding factor. Am I being unrealistic in my school choices? See the list after my profile evaluation.
This is my profile:
Age: 23
Nationality: Indian American
Sex: Female
GMAT: 700 (47Q, 39V, 6AWA)
GPA: 3.868/4.0 (Summa Cum Laude) from a top 10 US Public School.
Looking to enroll: Fall 2011
Work Experience (currently): 2.5 years in the biotechnology sector.
Key Work Accomplishments:
-Startup company so heavy involvement in setting up the company including working closely with the CEO.
-Managing a project in the Diabetes field, controlling all sectors involved including conceiving the idea, targeted marketing, and implementation.
-Designing and managing a structured Customer Support System.
MBA focus/interest: -Consulting (Healthcare) with a big firm initially and then for a Social Business in the long run.
Extracurricular:
-While simultaneously working full-time, I have also been co-managing an India-targeted non-profit organization. I helped found the environmental awareness program at this organization and have been on the executive board for the last 2 years. I was instrumental in making the organization last beyond it's first year. Running this organization has developed skills spanning all aspects of business management.
-I have also recently started working with a Harvard Graduate Student group to provide a holistic, voluntary consulting services to young individuals working for grassroots international development projects happening in India. My specific project is essentially a team of 2, communicating with a field partner in South India.
MBA Schools of interest:
-HBS
-Sloan
-Kellogg
-Chicago
-Stanford
-Columbia
-Stern
-Fuqua
-London Business School
-INSEAD
-IE
-Darden (?)
Questions:
-Am I unrealistic?
-Are there any other schools that I should consider? Should absolutely eliminate from my list?
-I plan to do a trial application run for Fall 2010 and apply to 2-3 best/semi-best schools. Good idea?
Thank you so much for all your help! So sorry for the uber long post!
Cheers.

I think you are in the right range for all the school. I think you should not just concider what the GMAT scores online in the forums and blogs but look at the school profile. While having a 700 isn't gonna wow anyone over, but like you said, it will get your foot in the door. I think the strength of your GPA, experience and being female would give your the other leverage you need.
That said, the schools you're applying to are very very competitive so unless you graduated H/S and is the daughter of Obama, no one can really say hey, you're definitely getting in anywhere. All I can say is you're competitive at all those schools.
As for ther other questions, I think you list is really long so you may start narrowing it down by once you start to know a little more about each school. Since you are looking toward Healthcare, Wharton would be a good choice to look into also.
I don't really believe in trail runs, if you're gonna do it, go for it. Worst thing that can happen is to reapply the following year. H/S tend to look for younger candidates, so earlier may be better for those schools.

Wow, that was a quick response! Thanks so much for it. I see that you're planning to apply for '10. Good luck!
Yeah--I think for me, it comes down to how well I pick my schools and how well I capture myself and my accomplishments in the essays. Knowing that I am not one for self-evaluation, that's going to be one of the hardest projects ever!
